Clifton School Auction

Danny and I went to an auction held at the CDC for Coops' school on Saturday. It was a really fun time. They had both a real auction and a silent auction. The food, drinks and prizes were all wonderful.
I went specifically to bid on the step stool the children in Cooper's class created. Someone else in the audience drove up the price a little but I was able to win the stool. I did have to hid our bidding number from Danny a couple of times because he really got into the spirit of the auction.
We ended up with a couple of gift baskets we won in the silent auction and the stool.
Suzy had a great time trying to keep Cooper out of her tuna salad at home.
It was a really nice evening to get out.

Chuck E Cheese

We went to Chuck E Cheese's on Sunday to help Ansley Young celebrate her second birthday.

I'll have to upload the video later. I don't even have a picture of the birthday girl only a shot of the pizza rat. I think Suzy and Danny had a much better time than anyone there. You couldn't pull them away from Skeeball. Cooper was interested in the slide but could care less about all the little kiddie rides they had. We had a great time , Thanks for inviting us Ansley.

Ghost town?

I took this picture about a month ago. It's downtown Toccoa minus the canopy. Looks really strange doesn't it? I'm not sure I like it this way but I was never really into change . Hopefully it will help revitalize downtown. Somehow I think that might be a lost cause.

Per request, I give you coops and bubbles

News from the home front

SPAMALOT

We went to see SPAMALOT at the Fox theatre Sunday night. It is a musical based on the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I think it won a Tony award in 2006. Going in, I wasn't expecting too much but I was more than pleasantly surprised. We laughed and laughed the entire evening.

A night at the Fox is always a great treat, But seeing such a fun show made it a wonderful experience.

Trip to see Grandma Louise

Suzy driving Papa's car

Suzy's AWESOME parking job



Putting together a kitty puzzle

Cooper played maracas for us

The Birthday girl (94 years old!) and her Great Grandchildren

We had a great visit with Grandma Louise on Saturday. We stopped at skins for hot dogs and then headed to the nursing home. Grandma seemed very happy to see us. We celebrated her birthday with a fruit tart from Harry's. I think everyone enjoyed it.

Happy Anniversary to US

I tried to post this yesterday but the website wouldn't allow me....

Happy Anniversary to my very awesome Danny.
I don't know what I'd do without you.

Love Always! Aims

Renal Weigh in Week 2

I lost 5.1lbs this week!
Go ME!!!!!!

That brings my weight loss to a total of 9.6 lbs
Right now I have a nice lead over everyone else.
I think it's the hour of cardio everyday that is really doing the trick

Be Mine

Swinging Sunday

It was such a nice day that we went to the park for a while.

Saturday

I had Garden club in the morning where we were installed as officers. I'm now VP.

Just think....I'm next in line if something were to happen to Jane (the lady next to me)

Do I get use of Air Force one??

Cooper had fun eating the rose after the ceremony. I was going for the very cute Valentine picture. After he pulled off all the petals, I gave up.

Winterguard 2007 at Kell HS

Suzy had her 2nd competition on Saturday.
They did great but wound up in fourth place because of the class they were placed in.
If they had been in the correct class, they would have placed first.
Way to go girls!

They have added alot since the last time we saw them and still have a few steps to go. They will have another meet next week and then Championships in March.

I think they will be unbeatable by the Championship meet

Footloose

Suzy went to the Winter dance at Wheeler Friday night.
From what I heard, they all had a really good time but I'll let her share all the saucy details.

Suzy, Lauren & Elise

Elise and Suzy (Isn't it cool how their dresses complement each other?)

The girls ready to break hearts

Week one of the Biggest Loser

I started a Biggest Loser contest in the Division.
Everyone put $10 in and the one who loses the largest percentage of weight gets the pot

The good news is, I've lost 4.2 pounds this week.
I'm a little bummed because as hard as I've been working, I really expected a bit more.

The South Beach Diet is not as productive as the first time around, when the pounds just melted off and I think that it's because Danny and I were essentially eating well before we started the diet anew. There wasn't that sudden weight drop like we experienced before. We both do feel better though, and that counts.

I guess it's going to be a whole lot more blood, sweat and tears to get back in Triathlon condition.

Random wierdness

I seriously saw a guy doing curls on the way in to work today.
How crazy is that?

He was in the furtherest left lane, lifting what looked like about a 5lb dumbell.

I think I've seen it all now

1st Birthday party

We held a first birthday party for all the one year old's in Cooper's class yesterday. It was fun and a bit messy. Here are some pictures of the kids.
